WASHINGTON, D.C. , United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 10/31/2014 – – Hearing health should be included in good diabetes management, says the Better Hearing Institute (BHI), and has issued five habits for healthier hearing for people with diabetes. Studies show that people with diabetes are about twice as likely to develop hearing loss. Yet hearing tests are frequently overlooked in routine diabetes care. In fact, some experts believe that hearing loss may be an under-recognized complication of diabetes. (http://ow.ly/DuVyB)

BHI’s outreach comes in recognition of American Diabetes Month in November and World Diabetes Day on November 14. BHI also is offering a free, quick, and confidential online hearing check at www.BetterHearing.org. Anyone can take the online survey to determine if they need a comprehensive hearing test by a hearing healthcare professional. (http://ow.ly/CZQzM & http://ow.ly/CZQEm).

What’s the Diabetes-Hearing Health Link?

Hearing depends on small blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear. Researchers theorize that over time high blood glucose levels can damage these blood vessels and nerves, diminishing the ability to hear. (http://ow.ly/uCLit)

Based on the findings of a meta-analysis conducted on the link between diabetes and hearing loss, Professor Hirohito Sone of the Department of Internal Medicine, Niigata University School of Medicine, Niigata, Japan, believes that hearing health should be included in good diabetes management.

“Our findings support routine hearing screenings for people with diabetes starting at an earlier age than for people without the disease,” Professor Sone says. “This is very important from a preventive healthcare perspective. We want to stop untreated hearing loss from leading to other health problems, like depression or dementia, which would make the diabetes burden even greater.”

The meta-analysis, which looked at 13 studies, found that people with diabetes were 2.15 times more likely to have hearing loss. When broken down by age, it found that younger individuals were at an even greater risk. Those older than 60 with diabetes were 1.58 times more likely to have hearing loss, while the risk for those 60 and younger with the disease was 2.61 times higher. (http://ow.ly/DpXDv)

According to Kathleen L. Yaremchuk, M.D., Chair of the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit: “A certain degree of hearing loss is common with aging, but it is often accelerated in patients with diabetes, especially if blood-glucose levels are not being controlled.”

In a 2012 study, Yaremchuk and colleagues at Henry Ford Hospital found that women between the ages of 60 and 75 with well-controlled diabetes had better hearing than women whose diabetes was poorly controlled. (http://ow.ly/DCB8K)

“Our findings really point to the importance of patients controlling their diabetes and paying attention to their hearing health,” said Yaremchuk. “Because hearing loss tends to come on gradually, people aren’t always fully aware of its significance. But untreated hearing loss can lead to withdrawal, isolation, and leave the individual subject to depression and other cognitive issues.”

5 Habits for Healthier Hearing for People with Diabetes

BHI encourages people with diabetes to take care of their hearing by following these five healthy habits:

1) Get a thorough hearing exam every year and watch for signs of hearing loss. You do it for your eyes. Now do it for your ears. See a hearing healthcare professional every year for a thorough hearing examination. If you notice a change in your ability to hear under certain conditions—like at a restaurant or on a conference call—go sooner. And be sure to share the information with your primary care physician and endocrinologist.

2) Use hearing aids, if recommended. Hearing aid technology has advanced radically in recent years. While hearing loss is not reversible, today’s hearing aids can dramatically enhance your ability to hear and engage with others—which can make a tremendous difference in your overall quality of life. Many hearing aids are virtually invisible, sitting discreetly and comfortably inside the ear canal. They adjust to all kinds of noise environments and pick up sound from all directions. Best of all, they’re wireless. Today’s hearing aids stream sound directly from your smartphone, home entertainment system, and other electronics directly into the hearing aid itself—at volumes just right for you. Some are even waterproof.

3) Keep your blood sugar under control. Just as your heart, eye, and nerve health are affected by your blood sugar levels, your hearing health may be as well. Work with your doctor to monitor your blood sugar and take appropriate medicines as prescribed.

4) Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Even for people without diabetes, a healthy lifestyle benefits hearing health. Not smoking, exercising, and maintaining a healthy diet all support your ability to hear. In fact, studies show that smoking and obesity increase the risk of hearing loss, while regular physical activity helps protect against it. (http://ow.ly/DbkDZ & http://ow.ly/DbkT9 & http://ow.ly/Dbldc)

5) Use ear protection. Everyone is at risk of noise-induced hearing loss. But using ear protection is one of the best—and simplest—things you can do to preserve your hearing. Carry disposable earplugs with you, especially when you know you’ll be somewhere noisy. Use appropriate ear protection in loud work environments. Keep the volume on smartphones and other electronics low. Limit your use of headphones and ear buds. And get in the habit of quickly plugging your ears with your fingers and walking away if a loud noise takes you by surprise. Most of all, limit your time in noisy environments.

TBG Holdings Corporation, majority shareholder in Train Travel Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: TTHX), announced today that an 8K has been filed on behalf of Train Travel Holdings Inc. and the intended transactions to acquire Train Travel Inc. and Railmark Holdings Inc. have been unwound. TBG Holdings Corporation, who sold B. Allen Brown control, has taken every conceivable measure in the effort to overcome challenges encountered working with Railmark Holdings Inc. but has not been able to resolve the issues. After exploring all reasonable solutions, it has been determined by all parties that the conditions of the proposed merger could not be completed. It was deemed to be in the best interest of shareholders to terminate the process and unwind the agreements immediately.

In addition, the unwind agreement cancelled any and all prior agreements, including all financial, promissory notes and other commitments. All of the preceding are now null and void. As a result, TBG Holdings Corporation and Train Travel Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: TTHX) no longer have any interest in Railmark Holdings Inc. or any of its corporate subsidiaries.

“We are assessing our options over the next few days and will provide shareholders with an update within a week,” said Neil Swartz, CEO of TBG Holdings.

Second, each sale represents a success in our mission of putting American families back into homes at affordable prices.

We intend to sell the remaining residential and commercial properties in our portfolio in an expeditious manner so that we can continue to acquire larger portfolios of distressed real estate and turn them over quickly to avoid having a large inventory at any given time.

“These are exciting times for management and our shareholders as we begin to enter into contract for larger amounts of properties and successfully sell those properties for significant gains in a relatively short period of time,” commented Carl Grant, President of Profitable Developments. Grant further said, "We are really excited to be very close to signing a line of credit from private investors which would allow us to buy greater numbers of properties at one time. Our intention to have a shareholder conference call in November after the financing agreement is signed.”

SKIPPACK, PA, United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 07/29/2014 – – North Bay Resources Inc. (OTCQB: NBRI) ("North Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to issue the following progress report of the work ongoing at the Ruby Mine in Sierra County, California, where visible gold has been found and confirmed in the newly-discovered South Terrace.

As previously announced in a Company press release dated July 17, 2014, the recent underground drilling program at the Ruby Mine intersected buried river gravels in 3 vertical drill holes spaced approximately 150 feet apart, for a total expanse of at least 300 feet. The gravels are located approximately 60 feet above the adit level and 25 feet above the base of the White Channel, which is located about 100 feet away. The gravels are interpreted to be on a terrace or bench on the south rim of the White Channel. In the 1880’s, a terrace on the north side of the White Channel, at the same elevation as the recently discovered terrace, was successfully mined for gold. The two terraces are interpreted to be of the same age, and have been designated the North and South Terraces, with the South Terrace being previously unknown and unmined. A raise to access the South Terrace is currently under construction.

Concurrent with the start of the raise construction, a successful attempt was made to reenter drill hole C-2, which penetrated the South Terrace at the lowest elevation and remains open. The goal was to collect a larger sample of the terrace gravels than was collected during drilling. Using a string of one-inch diameter PVC pipe fitted with a 90-degree nozzle at the top and a water fitting at the bottom, the pipe was fed into the drill hole length by length until the top of the basement rocks was reached. Water was then pumped through the pipe, washing sand and gravel back down the hole where 5 pounds of material was collected and recovered. The coarser material was found to include rounded quartz and chert cobbles to 2 inches in diameter, the largest material that could fit in the drill hole and pass by the PVC pipe. The recovered sand and gravel was then carefully panned, and several small pieces of visible gold were found. The gold was elongated and little rounded, indicating that it has not traveled far from its source. Arsenopyrite and small quartz crystals were also abundant in heavy fraction.

The clear evidence of visible gold in the 5-pound sample demonstrates that gold is indeed present in the South Terrace, similar to the records for the North Terrace. While bulk sampling will need to be done once the raise is completed before the South Terrace can be determined to contain an economically recoverable resource, this is encouraging news that provides additional justification to complete the new exploratory raise at C-2 into the South Terrace and allow these previously unknown and unmined gravels to be bulk sampled.

In other news, exploration work in the southern extent of the Black Channel began in early July, and approximately 2 ounces of specimen gold have been recovered from approximately 3 tons of loose material aggregated from various locations. Several of the larger nuggets have been appraised as jewelers grade and are expected to be sold for a substantial premium over spot prices. As well, exploration and bulk sampling in the White Channel has resumed, and approximately 2 additional ounces of gold has been recovered thus far.

We also report that the Big Bend Raise is presently undergoing additional engineering work that is deemed necessary to secure the accessway. Work in the northern extent of the Black Channel is on hold until this work is completed and the raise is fully operational.

At the end of July we expect to make our first shipment of gold to our refiner, Metalor USA. This will consist of 3.2 ounces of fine gold recovered from both the White Channel and the Black Channel, which will allow us to determine an initial baseline average purity of the fine gold produced from the Ruby. Another 3.08 ounces of specimen gold recovered thus far has been set aside to build inventory for sale at premium prices to local jewelers and collectors.

Mr. C. Gary Clifton, P.Geo., is the Company’s independent consulting geologist for the Ruby Gold Project. Mr. Clifton is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed this press release for technical accuracy.
